Sending humans to Mars appears to be a new milestone in the search for life in space. However, the dream of establishing life on Mars seems to be difficult because of the cruel conditions on this planet about which experts have warned that if people are sent here then the complexion of the people may turn green and their eyesight may deteriorate. May go. According to Indy100, Dr. Scott Solomon, a biologist at Rice University in Texas, USA, explained that children born to human settlers on this red planet will experience a series of massive mutations and evolutionary changes.
Life on Mars is not easy
In his book, Future Humans, Dr. Solomon claimed that due to the incredibly harsh conditions on the surface of Mars, it may be extremely difficult for humans to survive, let alone thrive, on the planet. He wrote that if human inhabitants of Mars give birth to children, the latter children may undergo various drastic mutations and evolutionary changes. Dr Solomon explained that these mutations could be caused by low gravitational forces and high radiation and could result in green skin tone, weak muscles, poor vision and brittle bones.
This is the big reason
According to Indy100, Mars is a smaller planet than Earth and has 30% less gravity than what we have evolved to inhabit. The Red Planet also lacks a magnetic field and protective ozone layer, leaving the planet open to space radiation, UV, and charged particles from the Sun and cosmic rays. This type of environment causes humans to mutate at a high rate so that they can cope with new conditions. This can cause skin color to change to help cope with radiation, Dr. Solomon explained.
Green people will be found on Mars
He writes in his book, “Maybe in the face of this high radiation, we can develop some new types of skin color to help deal with that radiation. Maybe we’ll get our own green man.” Furthermore, the expert claimed that the fragile bones due to the lack of gravity could cause women’s pelvis to break during childbirth. He also argued that vision could weaken due to the reduced need to see far as humans would live together in small enclosures.
Plan to start life on Mars soon
Notably, so far, only uncrewed spacecraft have visited Mars, but this may soon change. US space agency NASA is hoping to land the first humans on Mars by the 2030s and SpaceX chief Elon Musk recently said that humans could live in a city on the Red Planet in the next 30 years. Many new missions are also being launched ahead of the given deadline to advance exploration.
